This bill would create a grant program to help animal shelters and similar organizations care for the animals they take in. Grant funds could pay for food, safe housing, vet care, play and exercise, and hiring, training, and keeping staff who provide that care.
Grants could last up to three years and be renewed if the shelter files yearly reports on how many animals they took in, what happened to them, and how the money was used. The U.S. Department of Agriculture would also send a yearly update to Congress on how the program is working and set rules to run it, with regulations due within 180 days of the law taking effect.
